00:00Has to be involved a little bit further forward, supporting Paul Gascoigne.
00:04I thought Paul Lynch was fairly quiet against the Swiss.
00:07And of course the wide men have an important role to play too.
00:11Well, as the captains toss on the side of the pitch,
00:15we can check on Craig Brown's Scotland formation,
00:19which has also changed.
00:24The Scots indeed have brought in Tosh McKinley, number 13,
00:28and they've brought in number 7, John Spencer.
00:31Out go Kevin Gallagher and Scott Booth.
00:35And this may mean the five-man defence, Trevor.
00:38Well, I'm pretty sure it will do.
00:40I mean, the key men now for them, really, are McKinley and Tosh McKinley,
00:45because they were pushing on the wide men of England
00:47and try and keep tight on Anderton and McManaman.
00:50I mentioned McAllister breaking forward,
00:52but I was very impressed with John Collins, very cultured left foot,
00:54and be interested to see if he can have the same influence
00:57as he did against the Dutch.
01:02Months of anticipation building up to this moment
01:06as Scotland in blue start the match,
01:09playing from left to right.
01:10John Collins challenged immediately
01:12by Alan Shearer.
01:21Here's Colin Henson.
01:27Calderwood.
01:32Forward towards Spencer.
01:34That was Pearce.
01:36Now it's McKinney.
01:38And now McManaman, who started here well against Switzerland.
01:51But not this time.
01:52Challenge by McCall.
02:00Good play by Calderwood.
02:01Here's his header.
02:07Then Tom Boyd.
02:10Well, it's bound to be frantic.
02:12Pre-kick given against Collins.
02:15Getting into bad habits, isn't he, John Collins?
02:17That one wasn't on the goal line, though.
02:18Now, what's Pearce going to do here?
02:29Shoot?
02:30He is.
02:31There he is again.
02:34In it goes towards Sheringham.
02:35That's Hendry's header up into the air.
02:37Darren Anderson gets a foot to it.
02:39Vollied away by Calderwood.
02:42That's the England captain, Tony Adams.
02:44And now Shearer.
02:48McManaman to his left.
02:52Ince, well forward.
02:55Pearce looks for Sheringham here.
02:57Oh, he got the header in.
03:01Well, the early pattern of surprise in John Spencer.
03:05Working back almost to have nine outfield players.
03:07Goal side.
03:08Look at that wave, really, of dark shirts.
03:11Just getting in front, Sheridan.
03:12And there's a lot of club confrontations also, aren't there?
03:16When you look around them.
03:17McCall and Gascoigne we've mentioned.
03:18Corderwood and Sheringham.
03:20Shearer and Hendry.
03:21They know each other so well, these two teams.
03:24Here's McCall.
03:27Jury.
03:28McKinney.
03:29Spencer makes his way into the centre.
03:31Only a small man and the only one there, really.
03:35Anderton puts it away from Tosh McKinley,
03:36who gets it back from McAllister.
03:38Now, it'll be McAllister again.
03:41Collins is square here.
03:42A challenge by Paul Ince is deemed to be a foul.
03:49Ince furious.
03:51England had a player down anyway, further away from the ball.
03:54Yeah, there were a couple of collisions there.
04:00It's just the follow-through, which brought John Collins.
04:03I'm not sure myself that it was a foul,
04:06because he admitted, and it was just when he followed through
04:09that he brought him down.
04:09But it's a far more dangerous situation than Stuart Pearce's free-king
04:13a little bit earlier, because that was further out.
04:15It was Gareth Southgate who was injured, but he's got back up now.
04:18And round the ball here, we have McCall, Collins and McAllister for Scotland.
04:24And that's McAllister.
04:36Well, it's a comfortable save for David Seaman.
04:39Hit it well enough, McAllister.
04:40I'm not sure if it went through the wall or around it.
04:42But just between that gap, well-placed him and no problems.
04:58That's what I'm telling you, Sheringham, cornering Tom Boyd.
05:03But it's Scotland who've broken away from it.
05:09McAllister's now over on this side, calling for it
05:11from Tosh McKinley.
05:16Here comes McCall in support.
05:18Look at Stuart McKinley here.
05:20And it comes off Stuart Pearce.
05:22Scotland have their first corner.
05:25So Stephen Mannerman went to sleep there.
05:27McKinley got behind him, gained the initial break,
05:30of course, was by McKinley.
05:32He spread the play, and it came inside,
05:34and then wasn't the best of crosses,
05:35but those two wing-backs are doing well at the moment.
05:39And there's two centre-backs that England have got to keep an eye on here.
05:41Colin Calderwood is up by the penalty spot.
05:44Colin Hendry is just behind him.
05:52It's too high for Hendry.
05:53It's McKinley.
05:55Hendry now.
05:56Dury in the centre.
05:58McKinley again.
06:01Calderwood coming in,
06:02and cleared by Teddy Sheringham over his own crossbar.
06:05Corner again.
06:05Scottish supporters encouraged.
06:11Good cross of the ball, isn't it, McKinley?
06:13Had to be dealt with by Sheringham.
06:15They're going to change it round this time,
06:16and the left-footer's going to take it.
06:18John Collins.
06:21Spencer in the near-post area.
06:23Dury on the six-yard line.
06:25This is Hendry.
06:30Pulled back for Calderwood.
06:35It's Gascoigne.
06:36That relieves things for England,
06:42and it did need relieving.
06:45Well, there was no-one actually going to threaten the header from the cross,
06:48but David Seaman didn't know that.
06:50Got his hand to it,
06:51then it was a little bit of a ricochet.
06:54Came back across.
06:55Unfortunately, there was no-one.
06:56Calderwood was going away from goal.
06:58Couldn't turn and hit the shot,
06:59and it was scrambled away.
07:00But an anxious couple of minutes, Greenland.
07:11Bad one from Pearce.
07:12McAllister.
07:15And a foul by Anderton.
07:18That was a classic case, though, wasn't it?
07:20Stuart Pearce had possession there,
07:22didn't have to just whack it clear,
07:24and gave it straight back to Kerry McAllister.
07:25They must keep it better from the bank.
07:30Oh, and McAllister raised his foot there.
07:40Now Shearer cleared the ball.
07:45Gordon Dury there.
07:47Oh, bad clash of hits.
07:49Yes, that happened in the penalty area
07:53as the free kick came across,
07:55and with blood on the forehead there,
07:58the referee will have to stop the game
07:59and allow Dury some attention.
08:08McManaman.
08:10Neville.
08:11Now then, Shearer's pulled away.
08:13Sheringham's in the centre.
08:15And that's Sheringham!
08:16You could almost call that the first clear opportunity.
08:23Good running by Alan Shearer there.
08:25Good cross,
08:26and I think the header just comes off
08:27and is stopped a little bit by Calderwood,
08:29but that was the position that you want the ball cross from.
08:32Tony Sheringham did well to find that bit of space.
08:35I think it just clicked the boot of Calderwood
08:37to take the pace out of it.
08:38Now, Gareth Southgate.
08:40No room in there.
08:42Tackle was by McCall.
08:43This is Gascoigne.
08:44Now, McManaman.
08:46Anderton goes to the right.
08:51And plays it back to Neville.
08:57And again.
08:59Anderton.
09:01It's all too intricate.
09:03Scots are getting a foot in here,
09:04a foot in there.
09:05I'd just be so surprised
09:11if they've got something through that middle.
09:13Once you come back inside,
09:15so many dark blue shirts there,
09:18that whether Gary Neville, Stuart Pearce
09:20can start to just be released
09:22and go out as an overlapping ball backs themselves.
09:25I know they're playing in a back three
09:26and a relax-up to cross the halfway line,
09:28but at present England have had no success
09:30out by it whatsoever.
09:32And as the line-hand backs for offside,
09:34the referee obviates that
09:36by blowing for half-time.
09:39Applause from Scotland's supporters.
09:41They've done a sound job on England in that sense,
09:45limiting them to one headed opportunity
09:47for Sheringham.
09:48Craig Brown's tactics working like a treat.
09:51But for England,
09:52who are expected really to take the initiative here
09:55and indeed need to do so,
09:57there hasn't been too much
09:58to lift you off your seat.
10:00They've got bogged down
10:01in that web of defenders.
10:05It remains England nil,
10:07Scotland nil.
10:11Well, Jamie Redknapp,
10:12who will be 23 later this month,
10:14is going to win his fifth cap here,
10:17presumably to bring some
10:19added invention to the midfield.
10:21And the player taken off there,
10:23Stuart Pearce.
10:25Well, I think it was just a case
10:26of Gareth Southgate
10:27will go back.
10:29No reflection really on Stuart Pearce
10:31to do anything wrong,
10:32but he did squander possession
10:33and Gareth Southgate
10:34might be able to keep it better
10:35going into that back three.
10:38But more than anything,
10:39Jamie Redknapp
10:39much more comfortable
10:41perhaps on the ball
10:42than Instant Southgate
10:43in those situations.
10:44So now Paul Ince
10:45becomes the ball winner
10:46and hopefully Jamie Redknapp
10:48and Paul Gascoigne
10:48can join quicker.
10:50Well, let's see if it brings
10:52about an improvement
10:52in England's performance.
10:54Here's Gascoigne
10:55at the beginning
10:55of the second half,
10:56playing now from the left,
10:57England.
11:01And as you say,
11:02Southgate slotting in
11:03on the left-hand side
11:04of the three.
11:06So it's now
11:07Neville Adams
11:08Southgate at the back.
11:10Redknapp
11:10in the midfield.
11:11I would imagine
11:17the Scots team talk
11:19rather more upbeat
11:21and less critical
11:23than the England one,
11:24but we'll see
11:26what effect the words
11:27of the two coaches
11:28may have had.
11:29Here's Sheringham
11:30for England.
11:32This is McManaman.
11:35Redknapp just
11:35by the side of him.
11:36Here's Ince.
11:37Now Gascoigne.
11:38Now Redknapp.
11:39Gascoigne again.
11:41This looks better.
11:42Redknapp.
11:45And away for Scotland
11:50comes for call
11:50and gives it
11:51straight to Ince.
11:52Now this may work
11:52for England.
11:53Here's Sheringham.
11:54Shearer goes
11:55into the centre.
11:57A tumble
11:58between the two
11:58Blackman men.
12:00Shearer and Hendry.
12:02Referee
12:02gives a goal kick.
12:05Well it's more
12:06encouraging start
12:06of the opening minute
12:07so probably
12:08the whole of the first
12:0945 minutes.
12:09He's just got blocked
12:10off on his run
12:11there Alan Shearer
12:11but it was much
12:13better into passing
12:14in the midfield
12:14Teddy Sheringham
12:15just hanging the ball
12:17in there
12:17and as you can see
12:18both defenders
12:19making sure
12:20forwarding Hendry
12:21that Shearer
12:21wasn't going to get
12:22the clear header.
12:28This is Gascoigne
12:29picking it up
12:30from Shearer.
12:31Sheringham
12:32goes to the left.
12:33Still Gascoigne
12:33being held a bit
12:34by Hendry
12:35surely on the edge
12:36into the area
12:37yes
12:37free kick
12:38possibilities here
12:40for England.
12:43Great position
12:43now isn't it?
12:44I think
12:44Paul Gascoigne
12:45was a bit fortunate
12:46I think he was
12:47leaning back
12:47into Hendry
12:48looking for that
12:49free kick
12:49but it's a
12:50dangerous position.
12:51Gascoigne
13:01Andy Gorham
13:11I'm sure
13:11has faced him
13:11on a few occasions
13:12on the training pitch
13:13that time
13:14trying to knock it
13:15the side that
13:16Andy Gorham
13:17should be covering
13:17as the wall
13:18covering the right
13:19hand part of the goal
13:20thinking perhaps
13:21he's going to
13:22take it over the ball
13:23but it was never
13:23our target.
13:26So the opportunity
13:27goes by
13:28and Hendry
13:32won't feel quite
13:33so agreed now.
13:43Southgate's now
13:43got to work
13:44that left flank
13:45when he can
13:46and that's looking
13:46for Sheringham
13:47not far away
13:49from it either.
13:52It's a great ball
13:53Gareth Southgate
13:53quite at home
13:54could use both feet
13:55he's played on that
13:55left side for Aston Villa
13:57and Tony Schoen
13:58didn't get behind
13:59quarter wouldn't
13:59if he had gotten
14:00a touch
14:01Moran might have been
14:02stranded.
14:03Here's Steve
14:03McManaman
14:04who seems to be
14:05regenerated at the
14:06start of the second
14:06half.
14:09McManaman shot!
14:10there's a spring in the
14:16step all of a sudden
14:17there's a spring in the
14:18step all of a sudden.
14:19McManaman continuing
14:21down the right hand side
14:22as they finish
14:23the first half
14:24coming inside
14:25on his left foot
14:26not afraid to use it
14:27it's not far away
14:28steadies himself
14:29goes for the top angle
14:31just to a foot over
14:34shouts of
14:37come on England
14:37reverberating around
14:38the stadium
14:39but it's Scotland
14:41who are coming on
14:42here with jury
14:42and John Spencer's
14:44offside
14:45Craig Brown's team
14:55are going to have
14:56some defending
14:57to do it
14:57it seems
14:58they're good at
15:04that's it
15:05as they showed
15:05in the first half
15:06but if England run
15:07at them like this
15:07the picture may change
15:09that's McManaman
15:09bit long for
15:11sharing them
15:11well Andy Gorham's
15:17a great character
15:18and he'll see
15:19the funny side
15:19of that
15:20England desperately
15:23need McManaman
15:24to start to run
15:25at the defenders
15:26just in these
15:26opening couple
15:27of minutes
15:27he's doing so
15:28and certainly
15:29for the first time
15:30the home support
15:31beginning
15:32to get right
15:33behind the side
15:34yes this is more
15:36like the atmosphere
15:36we wanted
15:37and we're expecting
15:38there's Shearer
15:43now Neville
15:49Redknapp getting
15:50plenty of touches
15:51in the early part
15:53of the second half
15:54it could have gone
15:56wide again there
15:56but Anderson's
15:57come the other way
15:58Redknapp wants more
15:59now McManaman
16:00bit of variety
16:00here by England
16:01Gascoigne in the
16:02penalty area
16:03this is Neville
16:04oh and there's
16:06Alex Shearer
16:07Alex Shearer scores
16:12for England
16:12his second goal
16:17of the tournament
16:18splendid work
16:22by young Gary Neville
16:23and England
16:26are in front
16:27it's a good
16:29deep cross here
16:30by the Manchester
16:31United
16:31youngster
16:32and Shearer
16:34comes in
16:34and evades
16:36two defenders
16:37who are challenging
16:38him
16:38and look at that
16:41England in front
16:44eight minutes
16:45into the second
16:46half
16:47and suddenly
16:49it's a different
16:50scene at Wembley
16:51this is a different
16:56England
16:56McManaman
16:57sold a dummy
17:00to Collins
17:00takes on Calderwood
17:01good position
17:04here for
17:04Sheringham
17:05disguise
17:07Anderton
17:07good interchange
17:15now the confidence
17:15is back
17:16very similar
17:17actually to the
17:17Holland-Switzerland
17:19game
17:19nearly a different
17:21first half
17:21and then
17:22once they got
17:22the goal
17:23Holland
17:23a bit like
17:24England
17:24started to look
17:25a yard or two
17:26quicker
17:26and there
17:27with his left
17:28boy Anderton
17:28a strike
17:29just too high
17:31it's McManaman
17:32and Wendhat
17:33now
17:33the Liverpool
17:34connection
17:34who have been
17:35more influenced
17:36than anyone else
17:37Wembley
17:38all abuzz
17:39Sheringham
17:40Southgate
17:41to Scotland
17:47throw
17:47now being
17:49strictly neutral
17:49as we are
17:50what does Scotland
17:51do in this
17:51situation
17:52well they've got
17:53to do something
17:54that they're
17:55uneasy
17:56and that's
17:56score a goal
17:57and if you look
17:58at the bench
17:59I suppose it's a
18:00situation where
18:01Ali McCoy
18:02his experience
18:03his enthusiasm
18:04could be called
18:05upon
18:05to come into
18:07that trade
18:07because at the
18:08moment
18:08they defend
18:10well as a
18:10unit
18:11but they've
18:12never quite
18:12threatened as
18:13an attacking
18:13force
18:14and since
18:15the start
18:16of the second
18:16half
18:17they've been
18:18kept back
18:18in their own
18:19half
18:19they've got to
18:19find an outlet
18:20and present

18:49oh
18:53well
18:542-0 there
18:55and Scotland
18:57might have been
18:57out of it
18:58as it is
18:58they've got
18:58a counter attack
18:59going

19:36then Neville
19:37playing with
19:39such authority
19:40for one so young
19:40just before
19:43that was occasion
19:43when McManaman
19:44knocked it to Adams
19:45where Tony Adams
19:46could have brought
19:46it out
19:47rather than
19:48knock it into
19:48Sheringham
19:48who was marked
19:49here's McAllister
19:52driving deep
19:53into England territory
19:54Gary Neville
19:55is the defender
19:55but Seaman
19:56will come and
19:56collect that
19:57now
19:58is that a
19:58back pass
19:59is that the
20:00pass to the
20:01goalkeeper
20:01the referee's
20:05arm is raised
20:05for an indirect
20:06free kick

20:31was a delicate
20:32chip
20:32trying to
20:33find Hendry

20:34see he's
20:35working towards

21:45four or five

22:04jury
22:05that was
22:06a great
22:07save
22:07absolutely
22:08great save
22:09because that
22:10was a free
22:10header
22:11John Collins
22:12did superbly
22:12well and he
22:13got his
22:13hand to it

22:14that's
22:26McCoyst
22:26good ball
22:34through
22:35McCoyst
22:36just getting
22:37the wrong
22:37side there
22:37Gary
22:38Neville
22:38I think
22:40he was
22:40just going
22:41away
22:41he just
22:42nudged
22:42into him
22:42and once
22:43then he
22:43saw it
22:43was going
22:44to go
22:44away
22:44from him
22:44he went
22:45down
22:45and the
22:45penalty
22:45I think
22:46the referee
22:46was quite
22:47right
22:47although I
22:48must admit
22:48he was
22:48well away
22:49from the
22:49play
22:49that's a
22:58lovely ball
22:59by the
22:59callister
23:00to McCall
23:00and the
23:01cross finds
23:02jury
23:02penalty
23:03penalty
23:05to
23:05stock
23:06the
23:07and the
23:09and the
23:11second
23:12and the
23:13second
23:14and the
23:14England
23:15possibly
23:16concede a
23:17winning
23:17position
23:17by conceding
23:19a penalty
23:19kick
23:20That's amazing, isn't it?
23:26Didn't make contact with the ball
23:28and I think it was a correct decision
23:29Well, it was Turquoise last week
23:33It's Gary McAllister this week
23:36Oh, save by Seaman
23:46Gary McAllister stunned
23:48by a wonderful reaction save
23:51and England are still in front
23:54as Scotland's chance gone
23:57Here's the corner, Hendry
23:59free kick to England
24:01Oh, David Seaman the hero
24:03It's a stunning save, he decides to go that way
24:08almost in the middle
24:09on his elbow to it
24:10I have to feel sympathy for Gary McAllister
24:14doing such an important penalty
24:15but wonderful goalkeeping
24:17I think Tony Adams though
24:21if you're going to make a tackle in the penalty area
24:24you can't go on the sliding tackle
24:26unless you're sure you're going to make contact with the ball
24:28Gorton Dury just toe-ended it, passed him
24:31then came the contact
24:32and I do think
24:33in the end it was a correct decision
24:34but it didn't produce the goal
24:36Here's Gascoigne
24:37Oh, brilliant!
24:38Oh, yes!
24:39Oh, yes!
24:40Oh, yes!
24:41What a wonderful goal by Gascoigne
24:49What a pertinent answer to all his critics
24:54and Terry Venables vindicated
24:59straight from the penalty save almost
25:04England back on the attack
25:06Gascoigne here
25:08flicking it over Hendry
25:09and volleying it
25:11majestically
25:12past Andy Gorham
25:14one of the great Wembley goals
25:16in England-Scotland
25:17fixtures
25:18surely
25:18mesmeric stuff
25:23by the 29-year-old
25:26who's been in
25:27so many headlines this week
25:29Paul Inch to go off
25:30and be replaced by Steve Stone
25:32surely now
25:33the match is won for England
25:34and if it is
25:36it'll be remembered
25:37for the goal by Gascoigne
25:39and for the save by Seaman
25:41which preceded it
25:42under nine minutes to go
25:50and
25:51when you look back on this match
25:54you will remember that
25:56what?
25:57two minute period
26:04it was an awkward fall wasn't it
26:12yeah as Jamie Redknapp I think
26:13just turned his left ankle over there
26:15went up for the header
26:16and then just seemed to
26:17turn itself over
26:19which is a bit worrying
26:20because I think he's done extremely well
26:21since coming on at half time
26:23he's kept the ball for England
26:34McAllister
26:35McCoyst
26:36McCall coming in
26:38Gascoigne
26:39couldn't get to it
26:40Collins
26:40now he's left space on the
26:42right-hand side here
26:44McKimmy
26:45Collins
26:47whistles in the crowd
26:51as the England captain
26:52hooks the ball clear
26:53stoppage time
26:59and the sunshine
27:02has really come back
27:03into the life of the England team
27:05today
27:06here's Stone
27:10to McManaman
27:13Sol Campbell
27:15starting to get forward as well
27:17but there are some tired legs now
27:20nobody made a lot of strides
27:21into the penalty area
27:22still McManaman
27:22taking it alone
27:24as he had to
27:25the ball stays there
27:30England have no worries
27:32Boyd eager to the last
27:38Adams
27:40firm as ever
27:42yes he has played well Gary Neville
27:51looks so accomplished
27:54and the referee blows with the ball fittingly in Gary Neville's hands
28:02and Paul Gascoigne
28:06one of the first to swap shirts
28:08but nobody could get near him when he scored the goal
28:12that underlined an England victory
28:15which in the context of this championship gives them the perfect platform
28:20with McAllister's penalty
28:22with McAllister's penalty saved by Seaman
28:24to go on and play Holland
28:27with every chance now surely
28:30of qualification for the quarterfinals
28:32this was the game England had to win
28:34Seaman's save
28:36kept that possibility alive
28:38when Craig Brown's team
28:39had a wonderful opportunity to equalise
28:43following Shearer's opening goal
28:46but when the celebrations die down
28:50and the analysis takes place
28:54there will be talk of a changeover at half time
28:57that altered the mood of the team
28:59and the afternoon completely
29:01there'll be moments when the Scots thought
29:04they might have done something
29:05especially with the penalty
29:06and another fine save from Seaman as well
29:10from Gordon Jury
29:11but this is the moment they'll talk about
29:13when Gascoigne jinked through as of old
29:16and stabbed his indelible mark
29:19on Euro 96
29:21and that result puts England at the top of Group A
29:25on goal
